If it's raining, bring out your sunny attitude

It rained all day. In the rare cases that the sun showed up, although it's still drizzling, I went out and explored the entire village. I couldn't let the weather restrain me from taking pictures in such a picturesque place.

With my cousin Rayne. She wanted to swim in the pool but because it's raining, this is where she ended up in

With my lolas and my mom

All in all, we're 18. We had 4 rooms to choose from for the sleeping arrangements. I wanted to sleep in the kubo but I backed out at the last minute. Here's a tour of all the rooms and the paths that lead to them.

Kubo - where my uncles slept

where my mom and two brothers stayed

where I slept and shared the room with my Lola and Tito Ian

family room where the others slept in


Our lunch was consisted of these: (1st row) Palabok wraps, Tilapia with Laing, (2nd row) bengal curried chicken, fruit platter, Tuna, (3rd row) Lamb barbecue - super yummy!, and Turon with  Ice Cream

It's Spa Day

My baby brother had his birthday last 9 October. Being the youngest, of course it's almost impossible not to celebrate it. Mom whisked all of us including some relatives and some household help to Nurture Spa Village in Tagaytay (Click HERE for their website) for a relaxing birthday party. Allow me to divide our activities into 3 separate posts. Mark this as the first.

Here's a view of the Dining Hall

While waiting for the food, they played 'Sungka'

As for me, I revived my childhood games

My super sweet photographer, Lola Ester

Capped off my evening with a sweet facial, literally. They used pure honey as the base. Yummy!

back in HS, there were days where we'll be absent together

Overnight over her place because of Typhoon Ondoy

P.S. I am really sorry for missing out on your party. I love you, S!

Late for Class, Early for Lunch

I think I know what's going to be on top of my Christmas wishlist - a Lumix or a Canon Ixus 115 or any other digicam for that matter. There's nothing more that I could wish for than to have my daily activities documented but my current camera's preventing me from doing it. I love my SLR but for day by day purposes, it's not wise to bring it. It's too heavy and it occupies almost the entire space in my bag. So much for my rambling...

Anne celebrated her 20th birthday in, where else but, Dolce Latte. It was so sweet of her to invite me and Lina. From school, we went straight to their restaurant. 

I came down to two options: whether to wear heels or my topsider. In the end, I had to ditch the heels because I'm restraining myself from wearing them to school.

One of the boys kami eh!

Spot the extra :-" Hahaha

I simply had to take this cake home with me. Chocolate indulgence (read: calories, calories, and a few more calories)

Around 4pm, I had to leave with Lina already because I was supposed to meet my friend Verlyn Guiyab while Lina was to be fetched from my place. Eat and run athletes if you may. Hahaha!

Belated happy birthday, Anne! :)

Train of Thought Series Part 7

Trust me, I'm not totally indifferent. Most of the time, I look back.
